Momma singing with Babo, Marissa Rae and Mason.

Prayer does work.....

                     ...... and we need a bunch right now.  We're both pretty tired and
I had come to the states for some important banking business.  Momma has her hands full.    

Santi and I discussing the Yankees season up to now.

        First and foremost is Santiague.  He is not keeping food down and he's eating precious little of it.  He started off well after a month with us.  Now he has good days and bad.  He's happier and a little bit stronger, but is still has not gained much weight.

         We need you to ask for God's benevolent grace.  It is a behavioral thing as we have noticed that he vomits when he wants to.  He may need to go to a hospital soon and get on an IV, but this is hard as Momma would have to stay with him and that's really tough when you have 12 others.  It's alarming, but not critical and Momma handling him and the other 12 with precious little help.  It just doesn't need to become worse.  God will bring us through.  He always does.

        If that isn't enough, the washer bit the dust, but we have a new one people gave us a year ago.    However, it take dad to get it going......construction is at a standstill and lastly the VCR/DVD player is out of action!  I've been gone for two weeks, but we both know how important rest from the grind is important.  Trisha is in bad need of a rest and I'll go solo in a few weeks and we will both be better for it.

This is a personal story, 

                                  ......but interesting none the less.  I knew all along through life that I was adopted, but that was the extent of my knowledge.  Two years ago, I found out that there were five kids (I'm the youngest) and at the onset of my birth and near about then, we were separated 4 different ways.  Well, three days ago, I met the first of that family, Michael (Sonny) and we've had a wonderful time getting to know each other.  All five of us had the same mother and father and the question is: Do we look like brothers?  It's an interesting chapter in my life and I hope to meet the other three.  Sonny is 1 yr/5days older than me, is blessed with a very sweet wife and lives near Ocala. FL.

Life is a little difficult......

Isaiah 41:10

'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'

We can persevere through the worst that life can bring if only we keep our eyes on the prize.
 Thank you Jesus for caring for me.
